Todas las novelas
Cinco novelas. Dashiell Hammett escribió solo cinco novelas, pero con ellas marcó el rumbo que debía seguir todo el género negro a partir deentonces. Supo crear personajes carismáticos y memorables; imaginó historias oscuras dominadas por la falsedad, la corrupción y el vicio; y recreó atmósferas violentas y recargadas que aún hoy resultan impactantes.Desde la legendaria El halcón maltés, protagonizada por Sam Spade, hasta la sofisticada El hombre delgado, pasando por las imprescindibles obras narradas por el impenetrable agente de la Continental (Cosecha roja, La maldición de los Dain) y La llave de cristal, todas las novelas de Dashiell Hammett suponen una cita ineludible para cualquier amante del género. Como dijo de él Raymond Chandler: «todo lo que hizo lo hizo de un modo soberbio».

Sam Spade und sein Partner Miles Archer betreiben in San Francisco eine Privatdetektei.

Doch schon in der nächsten Nacht gibt es zwei Tote. Und einer davon ist Archer, mit dessen Frau Spade eine Affäre hat. Dann erscheint ein schmächtiger Typ bei Spade und bietet ihm 5000 Dollar für die Wiederbeschaffung einer kostbaren Vogelskulptur – nur um ihn gleich darauf mit einer Pistole zu bedrohen und sein Büro nach dem «Malteser Falken» zu durchsuchen. Schnell wird klar: Die beiden Fälle hängen zusammen, und Miss Wonderly ist nicht die, für die sie sich ausgibt.
The Girl with the Silver Eyes
A Tale of the Continental Op The man who had disturbed my Sunday morning sleep—I found when I reached the Glenton—was a slim, white-faced person of about twenty-five, with big brown eyes that were red-rimmed just now from either sleeplessness or crying, or both. His long brown hair was rumpled when he opened the door to admit me; and he wore a mauve dressing-robe spotted with big jade parrots over wine-colored silk pajamas. The room into which he led me resembled an auctioneer’s establishment just before the sale—or maybe one of these alley tea-rooms. Fat blue vases, crooked red vases, lanky yellow vases, vases of various shapes and colors; marble statuettes, ebony statuettes, statuettes of any material; lanterns, lamps and candlesticks; draperies, hangings and rugs of all sorts; odds and ends of furniture that were all somehow queerly designed; peculiar pictures hung here and there in unexpected places. A hard room to feel comfortable in. “My fiancée,” he began immediately in a high-pitched voice that was within a notch of hysteria, “has disappeared! Something has happened to her! Foul play of some horrible sort! I want you to find her—to save her from this terrible thing that…”
